Welcome to northstar-santa.com

 At North Star Santa, my mission is nothing short of thrilling—it’s more than just spreading holiday cheer! I’m on a spirited quest to teach people about the magical power of kindness. I truly believe that the best gift we can give is kindness itself! Imagine this: simple acts like helping with chores, lending a hand to the neighbor, or even flashing a smile at a random stranger can spark a joy tornado! By promoting these acts, I aim to ignite a kindness revolution in the next generation, inspiring them to spread goodwill and Christmas cheer wherever they go. Let’s team up to make the world a brighter, happier place—one act of kindness at a time!  

My passion for supporting my community ignited back in 1988 when I jumped at the chance to become a volunteer firefighter with the Benicia Fire Department and the Benicia Volunteer Firemen, Inc.! Being part of the Benicia Volunteer Firemen, Inc. was an incredible experience, as we provided various community services and even operated a museum that celebrated our local history. Over my 13 years of service, I had the thrill of turning into Santa several times—can you imagine?! Driving around Benicia on our antique fire engine, decked out with Christmas lights, and spreading joy and holiday cheer was truly magical. I even donned the Santa suit for our department parties, making the holidays special for countless families!

Fast forward to 2021 and 2022, during which I had the immense joy of portraying Santa at the Glen Cove Christmas House in Vallejo, California! It was bittersweet since those were their last two years of operation. But wow, what an experience! The Glen Cove Christmas House was a beloved destination in the northern SF Bay Area, gaining national fame when it appeared on ABC's Christmas Light Fight in 2014!

Then, in 2022 and 2023, I had the absolute pleasure of bringing the spirit of Santa to the Brunch with Santa at the Inn at Benicia Bay in Benicia, CA! Picture this: Santa mingling with patrons at the café, sharing delicious meals, and spreading holiday cheer! If you haven’t been to the Café at the Inn at Benicia Bay yet, you’re missing out on some truly scrumptious food!  

Additionally, I had the pleasure of being Santa for children at various businesses and family homes, creating even more cherished holiday memories. It’s been an unforgettable journey, filled with laughter, joy, and a strong sense of community spirit!
